  1. Re:Better to scan to PDF on Google Docs' OCR Quality Tested · · Score: 1

    Just how many of such documents do you expect to have to index taken with a cellphone? Seriously, this is a toy. Don't go all corporate archives on me here.

    Well, that's the whole point to OCR. If you're just scanning, then you're just scanning. OCR'ing lets you do all kinds of text processing, analysis, format shifting etc. A scan is... just a picture of a document. Makes me think of microfiche.

    And how do you plan on searching, indexing, or otherwise having an computer operate on the contents of that document?

    Yes, it is.

    Imagine that, I actually read my contract.

    Well, "supposedly" you can negotiate your contract.

    Nevermind that the squibs in the stores (or on the phone, whatever) would look at you like you're insane if you even tried to do so.

    Shame that they can't just not be assholes, and not have to pay at all (because they didn't fuck everyone)

    Nope. Because they can still talk to anyone on that network and can decrypt any traffic on that network with the same key.

    On paper, yes. If you shoot at a cop while he's performing his duties (no matter how poorly) the shit is going to roll over YOU.

    A Chinese American who either doesn't realize "weaboo" refers to Japanese culture obsession, or that the Japanese culture is vastly different than the Chinese. Hrmm...

    The point of Steganography is not to make it hard to find the information. It's point is to avoid even being looked for. That's what the whole "hide in plain sight" bit means, you know.

  13. Re:scandisk will just remove this on New Tool Hides Data In Plain Sight On HDDs · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately it won't remove your comment.

    Scandisk hasn't been used since.... February 2000.

    Snark aside, yea, this does sound "dangerous" - it might hide it in plain sight, but it also fixes it in a very fragile state.

    Every bit of reading I've ever done that wasn't Tolkien (that mentioned them of course) spelled it "worg" - I'm going to go with the popular spelling.

    ... and what is so odd about the scent of "worn leather, hemp, and rosin"? Take a look. These are hardly bad scents.

    The above description is Rogue. Those are good smells, and taken together would smell much like an old leather jacket, riding gear, or perhaps an instrument case. Not "yuck" at all.

    Some of the F1 drivers are rebelling against the insane amount of controls they have to deal with on the steering wheel.

    Then I'd someone isn't doing everything they could be doing. You shouldn't need all things manually controlled. They should be spending just as much time on ECUs and such as they do on everything else.

    A microprocessor can adjust something a hell of a lot faster and more consistently than even the best driver... assuming it can sense what it needs to sense and has been programmed to respond properly to it.
